Hermione's muggle parents are far removed from the main action of the story, so it's hard to fault the movies for sidelining Mrs. Granger. What little fans know about the witch's mother includes her full support of her daughter's magical education, which is why it's so heartbreaking to watch Hermione wipe her mom and dad's memories to keep them saf...
Romilda Vane is cast squarely in the "vixen" role in the films. Worse still, she's a vixen who never even speaks. Still, I've got to give her props for going after the boy she wants (even if she essentially tries to drug him) and for fighting alongside her classmates in the Battle of Hogwarts.
In what little screentime she has, Angelina makes a name for herself as a skilled Quidditch player and witch who somehow sees through George Weasley's Peter Pan complex to notice his real value.
10 points to the Hogwarts Herbology professor for not coddling Neville Longbottom in Chamber of Secretsafter he's shocked into a faint by a mandrake.
Pansy simpers after Draco Malfoy, and also evidently goes to class once in a while. She's much nastier and more fun in the books.
Lavender has it real bad for Ron and shows it by being a Stage 5 Clinger. Her role in the movies is to provoke Hermione's jealousy, and she dies at the hands of Fenir Greyback before she can leave her teen obsessions behind.
Poor Katie Bell's most notable scene is the one where she's possessed by a cursed necklace and tossed around like a rag doll by an unseen force. But she's also a chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and a founding member of Dumbledore's Army.
The Hogwarts school nurse is a no-nonsense woman who suffers no fool — least of all sniveling Slytherinfools.
Madame Hooch all but disappears after Sorcerer's Stone, but never forget that she could fly circles around any 17-year-old boy on that Quidditch pitch.
The Grey Lady's story (murdered at the hands of a jilted lover, the Bloody Baron) is an important cautionary tale about toxic masculinity that was unfortunately shortened for pacing purposes. She does provide Harry with her mother's diadem, assisting in the eventual defeat of Lord Voldemort.
- Sage Young
- Lily Potter. When looking at the bigger picture, Lily Potter is a minor character in the movies. However, she has one of the most important roles. As Harry’s mother, Lily was a powerful and accomplished witch who passed down many of her greatest traits to him.
- Ginny Weasley. Similar to other supporting characters, Ginny's character arc wasn’t nearly as developed as the books' version. Ginny was introduced as the shy and intimidated youngest Weasley, however, she later formed her own identity and displayed great bravery when she actively fought in The Battle of Hogwarts.
- Nymphadora Tonks. Tonks' character arc was explored in greater depth within the books, however, she is still a memorable and beloved character in the movies.
- Hedwig. Hedwig is often a character that gets forgotten in the grand scheme of things. While she features significantly less than others, she was one of Harry's first friends in the wizarding world and remained his trusting companion throughout the movies.
But the term also brings danger: soul-sucking Dementors hover over the school, an ally of the accursed He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named lurks within the castle walls, and fearsome wizard Sirius Black escapes Azkaban. And Harry will confront them all.
